What is the structural difference between pulmonary vessel walls and systemic vessel walls?
The role of the pulmonary circulation is to take blood that is poor in oxygen and load it up with oxygen. It also takes the carbon dioxide content of blood and gets rid of it, that is you exhale it. One role of the systemic cirulation to deliver oxygen rich blood to where it is needed. That is to say that cells need oxygen to do their work, the brain to think and the muscles to contract. They get their oxygen from the systemic circulation. But blood in the systemic circulation got its oxygen from being in the pulmonary circulation.

What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?
The pulmonary circuit is responsible for carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while the systemic circuit carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients. In the pulmonary circuit, blood flows between the heart and lungs, while in the systemic circuit, blood flows between the heart and body tissues.
What is the difference between systemic vessels and pulmonary vessels?
They start off the same, but by the time you're born they have begun to diverge. The systemic vessels are (self) forced to operate under a higher pressure than the pulmonary system and so develops arterioles plus thicker arterial walls.
What are two structural differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
one is vein one is artery
Differentiate clearly between the roles of the pulmonary and systemic circulation?
pulumonary serculation is cerculated in the lung systemic serculation is all of ours body system
What is the difference between pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sclerosis?
They are essentially the same.
What are the differences between the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems?
the heart has two systems, the pulmonary and the systemic system.the pulmonary is responsible for getting carbonated blood (blue) to the lungs to get loaded with nutrients and oxygen (see cellular respiration) and to take oxygen rich blood back to the heart. While the systemic system is responsible for taking oxygenated blood (red) from the heart to the rest of the body to diffuse the ATP (ATP = oxygen + nutrients from food. ATP is energy.) Then the carbonated blood (carbonated) returns to the heart to be sent back to the lungs.(pulmonary system)
What is the difference between COPD and pulmonary fibrosis?
what is the differencebetween copd and pulmonary fibrosis
Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?
Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.
How pulmonary system and systemic system are differ from each other?
The pulmonary system is responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood, while the systemic system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and removes waste products. The pulmonary system deals with gas exchange specifically in the lungs, while the systemic system involves the entire body's circulation of blood.
What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?
Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart, while pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while pulmonary circulation is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide.
